But when he discovers a skittish beauty scrounging through the Fireside’s trash to feed her dog, Declan offers her a job and a place to rest her head. There’s just something about her that awakens his protective side. And soon, not even that mangy mutt can stop Declan from caring for her.

Then we go and break all our rules . . . and I realize I’m falling in love with my fake fiancé.

Stacey Lynn Lies. Heartbreak. Betrayal.

No one knew the devastation of those three words more than Faith Winston and five years ago, she endured every one of them. All she wanted was to feel safe and marry the very man who promised to love her and protect her, Ryker Knight.

But growing up in the Nordic Lords Motorcycle Club, she should have known she couldn't have a happy ending. Instead, her world became a nightmare. The bikers - her family - abandoned her, leaving her to crash without their safety net.

Ryker Knight has spent the last five years consumed with guilt, running from ghosts that haunt him. That is until his past catches up with him the moment his brother needs his help. Returning home to Jasper Bay, he's forced to face the ghosts he's been running from. Only to find that the woman he loved is trapped in a hell of her own - entrenched behind enemy lines - and it's all his fault.

And even though Ryker's life comes with priorities he can't - and won't - turn his back on, he refuses to leave Jasper Bay until he's found Faith.

But will she want to return to the life she's always wanted, even if Ryker is no longer capable of giving her what he once promised?

When her childhood friend, Olivia needs her, Jules realizes it's time to return home and give her daughter the one thing she needs most - a family.

But Jules didn't count on the tumultuous emotions she would feel around Scratch's angry and brooding brother, Jaden.

Jaden has vowed to never forgive Jules, for what he feels is her role in his brother's death. Being face to face with Jules again, who is now a mother to a young child, he finds his anger hasn't waned and he swears to have nothing to do with either of them.

But how can he reconcile the burning fury in his soul with the irrational desire to touch her? To taste her? To own her completely?

Or will a night of passion destroy them both?

It was freeing, and now, he fits right in.

Friends with Ryker Knight for years, Meg McNeery turns to the one place she knows is safe when she needs safety more than her next paycheck. On the run from a man determined to receive payment for a debt he believes Meg owes, she knows the Nordic Lords Clubhouse in Minnesota is the only place where she and her five-year-old son, Brayden, will be safe.

What Meg doesn’t expect is her instant, magnetic attraction to Finn. And when her running ends with the three of them trapped together…it not only tests Meg’s physical self-control, but it also causes Finn to face his demons.
